Manufacturer Narrative
|
The investigation determined that imprecise vitros phyt results were observed from a vitros tdm iii quality control fluid lot p5703 when tested on a vitros 350 chemistry system.A definitive assignable cause could not be determined.A reagent issue, a quality control fluid issue, or a sub-optimal calibration event cannot be ruled out as contributing factors.The issue was resolved when an alternate phyt reagent lot was calibrated and tested using an alternate lot of vitros tdm quality control fluid.An instrument issue can be ruled out as a contributing factor as the instrument performance was within expectations.The customer made no allegations that patient samples were affected and there were no reported allegations of actual patient harm as a result of this event.However, the investigation cannot conclude that patient sample results would not be affected if the event were to recur undetected.
